TrackingPoint’s groundbreaking PGF technology puts fighter jet-style lock-and-launch technology in a rifle. First unveiled at the 2013 SHOT Show in January, the PGF system is the first of its kind that incorporates innovative optics, automatic ballistics calculation and guided fire control to create the most accurate long-range shooting system in the world.
With TrackingPoint, even a novice shooter can become an elite long-range marksman in minutes, accurately and effectively engaging targets out to 1,200 yards. In addition to precision technology that mitigates all of the most common shooting errors to ensure accuracy, the system’s built in Wi-Fi and ShotView™ streaming video mobile app lets shooters share their experience with others in real time with a smartphone or tablet. The PGF’s networked tracking scope also records each shot with video and audio that can be downloaded to an iPhone or Android device for sharing via social media like Facebook and Twitter or SMS and email.
“TrackingPoint is a most amazing company with superb technological expertise focused on a game changing product line.” said Starer. “It is a privilege and an honor to be chosen to lead the TrackingPoint sales team.”
